On September 7, 2018, 2k Sports released their yearly NBA 2k game to Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch, and even mobile.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is on the standard cover. However, if gamers purchase the 20th Anniversary Edition that has Los Angeles forward Lebron James on the cover which includes 100,000 VC (virtual currency), 50,000 MyTEAM points, 20 MyTEAM packs, and many more.

  MyTEAM is a mode in 2k19 where gamers can collect cards and play other MyTEAMS. The cards in the game are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Amethyst, Diamond, Pink Diamond, Galaxy Opal with bronze being the worst card gamers can get, while Galaxy Opal is the best. “They finally released Pink Diamond Jeremy Lin, my favorite basketball player which means I am going to try to open up packs to achieve Lin,” said junior Julian Sepulveda.

 Another mode that gamers play is MyCareer. To kick off the NBA 2K19 MyCareer mode, gamers will be tasked to create a very own player. That character that gamers created will go on a journey throughout his career in the NBA. While creating a player in MyCareer, gamers can choose any five positions: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. Next, gamers can choose six archetypes: three point shooting, driving and finishing, defending, post-scoring, passing and ball handling, and rebounding. Then height and weight, then begin MyCareer’s journey.

  Another mode is play now, where gamers can play an exhibition game either as current, throwback, or even All-Time NBA teams.

  All-star team up is another online mode where gamers can play with ten gamers and choose any five positions and play with any NBA all-star ever.

 Gamers can play MyLeague, which either can be played by themselves or online and gamers can choose any NBA team or even make an expansion team.  Gamers can change the roster, make a fantasy draft, or invite other friends for bragging rights.

 If students are into sports and are in need of a new game, they should invest in NBA 2k19.
